The Water Life: Tibetan Sepia
http://jesseshimrock.blogspot.com/2009/02/tibetan-sepia.html
Sunday, February 15, 2009. However, this journey is its own story and deserves to be told as well. People hauling their lives on the hunch in their backs,. Taking footsteps because of the lack of train tracks. This nation is healing from a culural revolution,. But the wounds remain open and filled with pollution. Passing by the dusty villagers with smiles on their faces,. Strong hearts beating to keep smiles in these desparate places. A Tibetan man branded with the hardships of his time,. The real wealth...

The Water Life: April 2009
http://jesseshimrock.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 18, 2009. Heading south out of Oregon our 15 passenger caravan could be easily mistaken for a band of psychedelic gypsies gearing up for a meeting between the Hell's Angels and the Merry Pranksters. Over 20 oddly shaped kayaks, ranging. An outsized snowy mass far in the distance is stretching its girth into the clouds above, nearly creating its own weather system. I would soon come to. My thoughts stumble at how incredibly far our insidious farming methods have strayed from the primitive ...

The Water Life: January 2009
http://jesseshimrock.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. The Great Bend of the Yangtze. After 2 days of traveling and layovers arriving in China was much like the old adage of having a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Much to my surprise, all of our kayaks and bags arrived on time, as well. Great success! The next morning I had the urge to hike to the highest peak around which was 2500 feet from the River. Reaching the summit, with a view of the river valley below and the towering snow- capped peaks in the distance, I felt t...

The Water Life: December 2008
http://jesseshimrock.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 22, 2008. An Epic Whitewater Farewell. What this past weekend held in store, as far as whitewater goes, was only fit for kings. Western Maryland and West Virginia used to be hidden whitewater gems that have since been exposed to the rest of tha paddling world.and that's just fine with me. Its too good not to share. The plan this weeekend was to paddle as much of these 2 watersheds as possible, and we did just that. Saturday we were Blackwater Bound with a trusty level 30 something-Ni...

The Water Life: Spiked Shoes, Hydroelectricity and a Humble abode.
http://jesseshimrock.blogspot.com/2009/02/spiked-shoes-hydroelectricity-and.html
Saturday, February 21, 2009. Spiked Shoes, Hydroelectricity and a Humble abode. Men working dawn to dusk building Cliff-side roads;. Wearing business suits and spiked canvas shoes while handling shovels and hoes. Each rock to be laid on this road is hand-crafted like a Spruce Village bird carving and then dangled from a chain hammock centered on a mildly sturdy log which is supported and transported by the calloused backs of 2 men wearing.well, hard hats.of different colors, of course. Lets Take a Walk.

To be truly challenging, a voyage, like life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest.and that people fling their lives beneath the wheels of routine in the pursuit of security.and then asks the question of choice, what will it be? Bankruptcy of pocket.or bankruptcy of soul? Sterling Hayden via Steve Fisher. Summit 2 Sea Expedition. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). World Class Kayak Academy Blog.
